He can fly on wings of silver and gold
No one said, but this is how his story was told
Silver Jack made a promise that he couldn’t stay
Fly Jack, fly, ’til the break of day, now

Pull up to some club, I get out and unload
Set up the instruments play a show for you
And you know what the very next thing is I gotta do
